DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fte.
Some detailed documentation is available html format, see below.
fte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far more flexible and configurable.
OPTIONS
fte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from
most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.
- -h -? --help
- Help on command line options.
- -! Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configu
- ration.
- -l<line>[,<column>]
- Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.
- -#<line>[<,column>]
- Same as -l. Do not use this option.
- -m[<mode>]
- Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m, then use default mode.
- -C[<.cnf>]
- Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same as -!.
- -D[<.dsk>]
- Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save.
- -H[<.his>]
- Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save.
- -T<tagfile>
- Load 'tagfile' at startup.
- -t<tag>
- Lookup tag 'tag' and display file containing it.
- -- The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames.
- -+ The next argument is not an option even if starting with a '-'.
- Useful when loading files that begin with a -.
- -noi18n
- Do not use locales in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales.
- -noxmb Do not use XMB functions in xfte - useful if you have incorrect
- locales and you want to use just english fonts.
- -font Select XWindow font to use with xfte. See VIOFONT also.
